We try to make it there at least once or twice a month. Their prices are very reasonable, the food is consistently good, and you know exactly what you're going to get without worrying about spending too much. The restaurant is almost always busy during breakfast, and it's pretty rare that you can walk in without waiting for a table. But honestly, the wait is worth it. The service has always been good, and I can't remember ever having a bad server there. Now, let's be honest--it's an older, somewhat rundown restaurant. It's definitely not the place you go for fancy surroundings or an upscale atmosphere. But when it comes to the food, Cowgirls delivers. The portions are good, the prices are reasonable, and the food is delicious. For us, it's a reliable neighborhood breakfast spot that keeps us coming back.

We had the California Omelette & the breakfasts croissant sandwich and both were really good. I DID ask for extra extra extra crunchy hash browns and they arrived exactly how I ordered them, LOL! Crunch all the way so even though the picture looks like they're burned they're really not. I saw other plates and they looked good not as crunchy, LOL We also ordered one of their famous Banana loafs... OMG, a MUST! So fresh and delicious but add all that butter at your own risk! We had started with coffee and orange juice, a perfect combination. The OJ was very refreshing & not overly sweet. Great experience overall!

It's very small, so there was about a 5 minute wait before a table opened up. There were only 2 people taking orders and serving food, but the place is so small that was plenty. If they had any more staff it would have been too crowded. They only serve breakfast, but have a lot of different options from pancakes & waffles, to omelets & eggs benedict, along with some Hawaiian and Mexican dishes. I had their Classic Breakfast, which included 2 eggs, sausage or bacon, with an upgrade to hashbrowns from home fries and toast. We got there around 12:30pm and the food came out very fast. And it was SO GOOD! Like, the best breakfast I've ever had and I'm not really a big breakfast person. SO, SO GOOD! I would definitely come back again if it was closer to my area. Unfortunately, it is too far for me to come on a regular basis. But definitely recommend!

The food quality is worth the prices. Their Antonio burger tastes refreshing and their guilty burger, well as it is named , guiltily full of flavor. Paired the burgers with onion rings and garlic fires. To over indulge, we also ordered their buffalo hot wings which were made in the right amount of hot sauce . I can positively admit that this has become one of my favorite burger spots now (:

Might have to put this place in our rotation for our breakfast/brunch rotations.

I grew up going to Dick Church's - whether that was after hitting dawn patrol at Blackie's or…read morepost-church services - my family has seen meals under multiple owners. I recently went back after many, many years away and I have to say that the current owners have done a fantastic job of keeping what was always special about the place while updating some of the less-than-stellar things that existed. I think the scaled down menu really does the place justice - because you can still get a Dick's Scramble, but they've kept the menu minimal so everything feels intentional and tastes delicious. It's still diner food, but that's exactly why you're here. The coffee is strong and hot, the eggs are fluffy, and the service is friendly and fantastic. Love the old photos of Costa Mesa everywhere and the outdoor seating for families with pets. Dick's is a staple of CM, and you can tell it will continue to be with this great for years to come. And yeah, still highly recommend the Dick's Scramble.

But come to find out after an hour later, the girl who seats you forgot about us. After being seated, it took another hour for the food to come out. Keep in mind, we ordered everything right when we sat down because we were watching the tables as we were waiting for ours. One thing we observed was how the front door worker was seating people. Party of 4 was seated with three tables. There was room to move the tables apart and seat others who had been waiting but that didn't happen. We came here for Mother's Day and it was packed but service was quick. Not sure what went wrong on staff for Father's Day but it was not pleasant.

Really enjoyed breakfast here. My wife and I came around 8:00 AM, ordered inside, and sat outside…read more The patio was spacious and relaxing, and the restaurant had a nice Mexican feel to it. One small thing I really appreciated happened before we even ordered. An older Mexican gentleman got in line before us, but when he realized we were there to eat, he told us he wasn't there for food and let us go ahead of him. He mentioned he was there looking for an opportunity to work there. That was a really nice gesture, and I genuinely hope they gave him an opportunity. I got the red chilaquiles with carne asada, and they were really good, crispy, saucy, and pretty spicy, and the carne asada was tender and well seasoned. My wife got the chile relleno and finished her entire plate, which is pretty rare for her. Service was excellent, our food came out in under 10 minutes, and the water refill stations inside and outside were also a nice touch. $44 for two felt very reasonable for what we got. This is definitely one of our favorite breakfast spots now, and we'll be coming back.

We ordered at the counter, and the food came out really quickly. I got the chile relleno and my husband got the chilaquiles with asada added on top. Everything was delicious! I actually cleaned my entire plate, which is rare I'm pretty picky when it comes to Mexican food, especially because I'm Mexican, so I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed everything. My husband loved his chilaquiles too. Next time, we'd probably add an extra egg since they only come with one and he's a protein lover. We sat outside, which was really nice, and the service was quick and friendly. The water cups were a little small, but they have water available both inside and outside, so it wasn't a big deal. Prices were fair for the portions and quality. Overall, we had a really good first experience and would definitely come back!

I was trying to relate my order and the young guy was already jumping to the next question. Also, the cheeseburger I ordered looked and tasted like it was DRENCHED in thousand Island and It was so overbearing that it was all I tasted. Also,usually Charbroiled Burger Joints use sesame seed buns and not brioche and actually lettuce rather than dark green romaine. What is up!? The fries were transparent yellow and soggy from all the oil. All i tasted was reusable oil. Mind you, I came on a Friday at 5pm. Why is the food quality bad? Also, for a side of buffalo sauce 1.25$? Lol For better business, please keep in mind that there is a McDonald's right in front of your establishment! Do better!

I ordered their Omelette trio at the attendant's suggestion and it was delish and a good portion of food.

They also have a sign outside that has a special of BOGO free burgers after 4pm daily. Not bad!! I came in at 10:45 and the place never slowed down while I was here. Good place to eat!!

The plate came with mashed potatoes and gravy and they were creamy and so good. Definitely coming back again as it made you feel like it was fall/winter time after eating that dish.
